Model reference · open weights
Lightricks-LTX-2 is an open-weight video model from ibyteohdear, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
LTX-2.5 is an open world model with open weights, built for local execution and fine-tuning. Its established use is generating synchronized, high-fidelity video and audio from text, image, and video inputs; applicability to emerging domains such as robotics and physical AI is developing. Full control and customization — self-host on your own infrastructure. No per-generation billing, no per-seat lock-in, no forced API dependency. Revenue is measured across the whole entity, including subsidiaries and affiliates under common control. The full, binding terms live in LICENSE. What's new in LTX-2.5 - Native multishot generation — generate connected scenes in a single pass: multiple shots that hold character identity, environment, lighting, voice, and visual style across cuts (previous versions produced a single continuous shot). - Diffusion fidelity rendering — Instead of locking every scene to one compression rate, our model dynamically allocates compute by scene complexity and budget, rendering flawless detail where it matters, efficient everywhere else. - New diffusion video decoder — replaces the VAE reconstruction stage; sharper faces, textures, and on-screen text, better motion, and fewer artifacts in demanding scenes. - Custom Gemma 4 12B text encoder — holds complex prompts together (multiple characters, camera moves, lighting, actions) instead of dropping details across a longer sequence. - Prompt enhancer — expands a short prompt into richer cinematic instructions at minimal extra compute. - Duration predictor (optional) — an opt-in node predicts a clip's length from the prompt and sets the frame count for you, instead of relying on a fixed-duration parameter. - Substantially improved distilled model — retains much more of the full model's visual quality, prompt adherence, and motion consistency in a smaller, faster checkpoint.

How it works
Variants
Open weights ship in several sizes and precisions. One page, all the variants — pick the one that fits your GPU. VRAM figures are estimates from model size.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys lightricks-ltx-2 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (lightricks-ltx-2 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"lightricks-ltx-2","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
Licence
The weights are open but its licence needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
